The Flying Lemon

Spinworthy returns with a fresh take on the undersized organic—introducing the Flying Lemon, a precision-crafted unresponsive yo-yo that brings something entirely new to the table. Designed by Spinworthy founder Glen, this model is a passion project born from years of searching for just the right feel in a 50mm diameter throw.

Undersized organic yo-yos have always held a special place in Glen’s heart, but none delivered the level of control and performance he was after. That changed with the Flying Lemon. At the core of this design is an unexpected twist: the use of a 4mm wide MR85 bearing—a departure from the more common C or D sizes. This bearing choice unlocks a new level of performance, minimizing the usual compromises in small-diameter designs.

Why the MR85-W4? It delivers a smoother throw, stronger regens, and good low RPM play with amazing bind performance, all while allowing a lower weight distribution and more effective use of the inner wall—key advantages in a compact organic. It’s a bearing that Glen has successfully implemented before in collabs like the RBC and Harbinger with MK1, and it proves just as powerful here.

The result is a yo-yo that’s fast, stable, and delightfully powerful for its size. André described it as “literally the zest thing ever”

Whether you’re throwing laid-back combos or pushing precision regens, the Flying Lemon offers a unique feel you won’t find elsewhere.
